Biography
Hank Rollins was born in South Carolina, and he lived on the north bank of the Santee River. Rollins fought in the French and Indian War as a mercenary for the British, and he was paid to scalp French and Native American troops. He befriended Benjamin Martin, who recruited him into his colonial militia in 1780 during the American Revolutionary War; he promised Rollins that he could keep or sell any captured British muskets to him. Rollins, motivated by money, joined the militia and took part in several ambushes. In 1780, he was captured at the Battle of King's Highway, and William Tavington offered to triple his wealth if he betrayed Martin to him. However, Rollins spat on Tavington's face and told him to do his worst, and Tavington proceeded to torture him and kill him.
